Germany’s Women’s Euro campaign suffered a blow when captain Giulia Gwinn left the opening 2–0 win over Poland in the 40th minute after twisting her left knee while preventing a goal-bound shot. The defender, who has twice torn an anterior cruciate ligament, was helped from the field in tears, and coach Christian Wück said an MRI would determine the extent of the damage. Scans in Munich on 6 July ruled out a third ACL rupture but confirmed a medial collateral ligament injury that will sideline the 26-year-old for several weeks, ending her participation in the tournament. Gwinn acknowledged the setback on social media, vowing to support the squad from the sidelines. Wück turned to 21-year-old Carlotta Wamser at right-back and reshuffled his leadership group. Despite the loss, Germany beat Denmark 2–1 on 8 July, securing a quarter-final berth with six points from two matches. The coach praised his team’s resilience, though he cautioned goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger over a series of risky dribbles late in the Denmark game.
